The Town employs a Building Inspector who inspects all new construction and additions to existing structures. All new residential and commercial constructions, as well as renovations and repairs, require building permits from the Building Inspector. Also, all fences, storage buildings, decks, and swimming pools must have building permits from this office.

All required permits must be applied for and approved prior to the start of any construction. Work will be inspected at various phases of completion.

If you are not sure a permit is required, call the Building Inspector.

The Building Inspector is also charged with enforcing the Sign Ordinance which requires permits for signs before they are installed. The Ordinance prohibits off-site signs, such as yard sale and garage sale signs which might be illegally scattered around Town. GARAGE SALE AND YARD SALE SIGNS ARE ONLY PERMITTED ON THE PROPERTY OF THE OWNER HAVING THE SALE, WITH A FOUR-DAY MAXIMUM PER CALENDAR YEAR.

For more information on any of these topics, call the Building Inspector at (423) 886-2177.
